Understanding modern AI: What every actuary should know

This is the first webinar in a series of three, exploring the ARGenesis AI Foundations paper 'What Every Actuary Should Know', authored by ARGensis found and partner Asif John and IFoA President-elect Alex Waite FIA C.Act.

This first session will establish the common language and help members understand how the main AI technologies fit together, including Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Large Language Models, Generative AI, RAG, and Agentic AI.

The aim is to demystify the terminology rather than go deeply technical, using the AI technology stack and simple examples already developed within the paper.

Relevant paper sections: Sections 2 to 4, approximately pages 6 to 19.

Speakers:

Chair: Srinivasan Iyengar, Chair, IFoA Membership Working Party
Asif John, Founder, ARGenesis
Alex Waite FIA C.Act, IFoA President-elect
